Indonesian Language Education, UMM – Eldelafimeta, the only student from the Indonesian Language Education Study Program FKIP UMM who is already preparing to do a thesis trial even though it is still in the first semester.
The story of Eldelafimeta, who is familiarly called El, is quite rare. Why not, El, who just entered college in the odd semester of 2023, is already preparing to do a thesis trial via the thesis equivalency route. The thesis equivalence program has indeed become a superior program in the Indonesian Language Education Study Program FKIP UMM. However, El's story is the most unique and interesting.
El has published books that have been read up to 17.6 million times by readers.
He said that his hobby of writing started in 2018, but peaked when he was hit by confusion during the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, his writing which was uploaded on the online platform, namely Wattpad, received a very positive response from readers.
Not long after, his writing went viral on Tiktok social media. El, who at that time thought that her hobby was just for fun, really didn't expect it to go that viral. That's where his journey to becoming a book writer began.
“I also don't know why my writing went viral on Tiktok. "That momentum made me think and finally decided to contact Coconut Books - a book publisher, to collaborate in preparing and making my first book," he said as quoted by the UMM release.
His happiness didn't stop there, as it was a win for tat, it turned out that his work could be used as a substitute for his thesis.
"I am grateful to UMM, especially the Indonesian Language Education Study Program, FKIP UMM, for appreciating my work. "Not only was it appreciated, I was even allowed to do a thesis trial using the thesis equivalence route," concluded El.
Mr. Arif Setiawan, M.Pd., Head of PBI FKIP UMM Study Program also gave a very positive response and appreciated the work of his students.
“The story experienced by El is very unique. It was only the first semester that I was able to do my thesis examination with such a great work. "So after the trial, El only needs to complete the courses," said Mr. Arif Setiawan.
